Outer Banks season 4 and Citadel: Diana lead this week's streaming suggestions

Another weekend has rolled around, so it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some brand-new content from the world's best streaming services. Expectedly, Netflix leads the way with two anticipated offerings – a returning TV fan favorite, plus a new animated series – but its competitors have also rustled up a number of new movies and shows of their own to pique the interest of their userbase.
No matter which platform you're subscribed, then, you'll find something fun worth watching after a long week at the office, university, or school. Without further ado, then, these are the films and TV series you need to catch before Monday morning.
Outer Banks season 4 part 1 (Netflix)

Ahoy, me hearties! Ready to get back on board with the Outer crew? The sun-kissed treasure hunting series' fourth season has arrived (or, rather, part 1 has), so we'll finally be able to see how the Blackbeard treasure hunt is going that we first heard about at the end of season 3.
I love nothing more than a sea tale, and the stories of pirates from the 1700s are some of my favorite, especially about the infamous Blackbeard. The pirate's ship has been found in real-life but in Outer Banks, it's still lost. That's where an elderly man called Wes Genrette (David Jensen) comes in, who has the captain's log with records of where the ship sailed to before it was shipwrecked. Will the 'Progues' find the lost treasure? Go stream the popular show's latest episodes to find out.

Citadel: Diana (Prime Video)

Let's address the elephant in the room: Citadel, the expensively assembled Prime Video spy series that debuted in early 2023, was not good. Indeed, despite its obvious star power and potential to be the streamer's next TV Original hit, I said The Night Agent and James Bond had nothing to worry about after I streamed Citadel's first few episodes – and, after its public release, it seemed many viewers agreed with my sentiments.
That hasn't deterred Amazon MGM Studios, though, as the e-commerce giant's entertainment division is bringing us two spin-offs before 2024 ends. The first of those, Citadel: Diana, will aim to get the franchise back on solid ground. Its trailer (see above) suggests it may do that but, after watching its first episode pre-release, I'm not sure it will. Don't count on it joining our best Prime Video shows unless it rapidly turns its fortunes around in its five remaining chapters.
